A Picture I Never Dreamed of Having

I uploaded the first picture that I have of me, It was taken about 30 days after I was put in the orphan home in 1948, I was just a bit over 20 months of age.

It contains 1 of 4 pictures I have of my brother E. W.,.

The man standing on the far right in the back row, I lived with him and his wife for a short time, his son is the 2nd on down from him, his name is James Rivers, I was fortunate, I found him last year and he sent me this picture. I would have never though I would have a picture of myself and my brother at this young age.

My brother E. W. is the first boy to the left on the front row, I'm the 6th one down from him.

After our mother, a sister, a brother died in a house fire, our birth father put us in this orphan home 30 days later, we were to much in his way, for he loved drinking and chasing wild woman, its hard for a man to do that and raise children.

I don't suppose I will ever understand how a man and or woman can give up there children, they have to have a very cold heart to do such a thing.

But, God took care of me, I finally had a mother who believe very much in the truth of this verse.

Joshua 24:15 "...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

And that love was passed on to me, and the wife and I try our best to serve God faithful. Its amazing how anyone could have any doubt that this world was created by God and that Jesus Christ did die on the cross that we might have the promise of everlasting life in heaven when this life is over or when Jesus comes in the sky for His own.
May God Bless,
